[coyotos-dev] Coyotos SMP?

[Jeroen Visser]

Hello,

I'm happy to announce that after 3 days of learning curve I have
managed to boot coyotos-i386 on actual SMP hardware (dual core intel)
and also on qemu -smp 2/4.

The APs are started via a real mode trampoline, put in protected mode,
paging enabled, cpu0-map loaded, stack setup and then switched to
their own map. Then each AP does a printf announcing its existence and
sits spinning. No interrupt handling at all on the APs yet. PAE only.
Many shortcuts taken.
